Michael ( my live in boyfriend) and I upon moving in together made the joint decision to not purchase cable or satellite. Many of our shows are available on hulu.com or on netflix.com. One easy way to save money this month, go in on a netflix account with either a friend or family member. If you already own an xbox ( which most households do at this point, or a ps3) you can use the account on more than one device. So netflix can be used on your xbox at home, as well as at your parents house, friends house, or neighbor. Split the bill each month and it will equate to just $4 a month! Or if you split it three ways, which is entirely possible, it is only $2.67 per household.
Living without cable is an adjustment that one gets used to fairly quickly. Since neither Micheal nor I are home very often this really has never posed much of a problem. Also having a nerd in our home doesn't hurt either. If there is a movie we want to watch we can usually find it online and watch it on our computer that is hooked up to our television.
Savings each month = absolutely free.....that is because Michael's dad is generous to let us use his netflix account for free, what an awesome man! But seriously you can be saving $4 at least per month which adds up to $48 savings per year... if you were paying full price it is almost $100 a year! That is a nice meal out with your loved one... or a hefty bar tab.
Happy savings folks!
